Question about cloning

[jtsik330]

Alright so I made a cloner out of a 10 gallon rubbermaid bin, with 5 gallons of water, ph was balanced to 5.5, 5 drops of superthrive were added to the water, two 3 watt pumps (from walmart), with 2 six inch airstones. Temp of water is at 78 and temps around clones are just above 70.

NOW, Do i want the stems to just hang right on top of the water where the bubbles are bursting or do I want just the humidity to make them root. Its only been three days and the clones look great but it looks like the stems just have water constantly dripping off of them. I want to know if this is what I want or what? Never done this before obviously and alittle unsure?

Also just a question for the common cloners? Do you recommend using a cloner system or do you guys prefer putting the clones into some type of medium? I thought the cloner would be easier but now I think I did it because it looks cool haha.

Anyone know anything about those diy cloners or if the EZ CLONER continuously sprays water or runs on a time period?

It sounds like you have it right except for the ph, I had good success with a ph around 6-6.3 with a bubble cloner. I use to have it 5.8-6.0 but several of my friends have said they noticed roots 1-2 days earlier with the ph around 6.3

Ez-clone and diy bubble cloner work onthe same principles. They both suspend the cutting in the air while giving continuos sprays of water. The oxygen is absorbed simply from being suspended and constanly splashed with water. Mediums that can be used would be hydroton,coco,soilessmixes, and dirt. Pretty much anything that's not a slab, or a bed
